Subject: [exim] Unroutable address?
Dear subscribers,

I installed exim4 on Debian 6 and used dpkg-reconfigure to choose the
configuration "internet site; mail is send and received directly usind
SMTP". Although my server has the hostname mydomain.com, it is not the
primary mail server for @mydomain.com. Unfortunately my server acts as
the final destination for @mydomain.com. Thus sending an email to
something@???, where something is not a user on my server,
will not work because of an unrouteable address. Instead my mail
server should look for the mx entries via DNS.

Unrouteable address

Help is much appreciated.
